History
The Penguins were founded in 2000, but East Hants has a history that dates back decades in junior hockey.
In 2007, the Penguins won their first league title and went on to the Don Johnson Cup Maritime Junior B Championships. They defeated the host Cumberland County Blues 7-2, Central West Junior Hockey League's Central Jr. Cataracts 11-2, New Brunswick's Madawaska 506 who played in Quebec all season 12-4, and the Island Junior Hockey League's Kensington Vipers 6-5 in overtime to finish first in the tournament round robin with a 4-0-0 record. In the semi-final, the Penguins again crushed Central 8-3 and in the final they defeated Cumberland County 2-0 to win their first and only Don Johnson Cup.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
